Please join the City of San José Housing Department for a series of community meetings to help develop the City's Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan, which will identify projects and services funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program, and Housing Opportunities for People With AIDS (HOPWA) program.

Participate in one of our community meetings to brainstorm and explore potential opportunities for projects and services specifically aimed at addressing these four goals. While much of the funding is currently committed to ongoing activities, the City is specifically looking for feedback on potential investments in senior services and community development projects, as well as ensuring the current projects are meeting the goals of the program. 

The process of selecting projects and services is based on funding availability, project eligibility, and the community needs and priorities that were identified in the City's 2015-20 Consolidated Plan. The following goals were identified through the needs assessment process as the priorities for 2015-2020:

1. Increase and preserve affordable housing opportunities
2. Respond to homelessness and its impacts on the community
3. Strengthen neighborhoods
4. Promote fair housing

How Can You Participate?  Attend one of our Community Meetings:

Please note that the forum on Wednesday, October 26^th is combined with a public input session for the City's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.  Light refreshments and children's activities will be provided at the forums. Interpretation services are available upon request.
